Work vs. Play

or Different Strokes for Different Folks

I've been trying to figure out for a while why what is work for some people is play for others. For example, I've been wondering why Uncle Billy likes to cook and I consider it a chore. Why Ward has fun raking and I find it tedious. Why Wally likes entropy and I love to put things in order.

And you know what? I figured out the obvious--we're all different. "Different strokes for different folks."

Different Strokes for Different Folks

Ward finds raking relaxing and I find it tedious.




Uncle Billy likes to cook and we just find it time consuming.  (However like Dog, we all like to eat.)


 

I like to plant and pull weeds and Theo only does it when he has to.



I like working with beads and Lucy would rather look at her toes.





I don't mind doing all parts of the laundry but Theodore doesn't like to fold.




But we all like the challenge of outsmarting the squirrels.

  1. It makes the world a more interesting place, don't you think? To have every one just a little different from ourselves.
    I love the photo of the squirrel! I spend a lot of time each summer chasing the squirrels out of the garden!
